I agree, I was scanning the comments looking to see if anyone commented on the shirt. OP needs a smaller collar and a smaller tie knot, if I'm not mistaken, he used a windsor knot, and a four in hand knot would work a lot better.

I actually tied a Balthus, so the knot being large is completely on me. I tend to like them larger and more symmetrical, but I can tie basically any knot honestly. If I want a small knot I usually tie a Pratt.

Even a half windsor would look better. I'd say use a half windsor if you want a symmetrical knot, a four-in-hand if you want an asymmetrical knot. I'm a slim guy at only 130 lbs, 28 inch waist and they both look good on me.

From that post, W.W. Chan in HK had bespoke suit starting at $1.4k. The location in Shanghai is about a third cheaper or more. Tailor Daves in Shanghai was about $600. I would assume smaller cities would be even cheaper. Buffett apparently wears Chinese suits now.

I used to work for a haberdasher in Denver and not even the football players paid that much for a custom suit.

Custom has a spectrum; a lot of people will get the fabric from Zegna (for example) and then have their guy tailor it to fit or even buy a suit from Tom James and tailor it to fit. This can save you a lot.

$2000 would be like sauntering into a Savile Row tailor and doing the whole thing from them. It's rad though because then you can pick a fun lining and they'll make sure there's enough extra fabric for letting it out.

Also, dem details!

TL;DR: There's a custom suit and then there's a custom fit suit. You can look good with out dropping a lot of cash.

I actually have gotten a few suits made in China(living here). My woman that I go to charges around 150 USD for a 3 piece. Custom fit, you choose the design, and material, and voila, after 2 weeks, its done.

It really depends on what you pick out. You can get pretty much anything you want honestly. If you guys want I can try and get him to answer some questions for you. Here is their site though. Very nice people, and they are obsessed with making you happy with what you buy.

Overall the unbuttoned looks good. The buttoned pic is where I feel where the trouble is. The waist suppression is so extreme the jacket seems to have a women's jacket silhouette. Additionally The deleted chest pocket is strange to me since I opt for a traditional suit preference. The buttons looks about right however the lapels starts really high, maybe the buttons could be lower. Jacket 1" shorter. Finally I can't tell with the jacket on but the shoulder looks heavily padded, that gives you a stiff look, or if your shoulder is high and square than disregard. Once again, overall not bad but I offer suggestions for your next suit you may want to consider.

Something you need to understand.. while there are certain "rules" that sticks-in-the-mud are going to get butthurt over, ultimately, what you wear is an expression of you.

If you're feeling wild, wear a wild tie. You're young - the old farts will dismiss it as you being young.

If you want to be "taken seriously" by older CEO types, age about 30 years. Even if you dress conservatively, you're still young, and they're still going to hold that against you.

Personally I think you look great in all of the pics you've posted, but this is one of those situations where being good looking in the first place can often overlap or eclipse whatever it is that you're wearing.

I've always hated "nice clothes" but that's because I get a lot of attention in them and I hate attention. Yay for social retardation.

Anyway, I'm glad you've still got humility, a lot of good looking people let it go to their heads. The way I like to look at it is: looks are just the wrapping. What's inside the gift is the important part.

That said, nobody is going to have very high expectations of a present you did a poor job of wrapping..

Maybe that sounds a little too sexual. How about this: Looks are just the advertisement, it's the product that has to be high quality if you want good long term results. That said, you aren't going to get many buyers if you don't sell yourself effectively.

The button stance on the jacket is too high. The jacket is also too long and it looks like it has too much waist suppression. Look at the way it curves in and then curves way out towards the bottom. That's too much IMO. It makes you look really curvy.

The idea behind unbuttoning the bottom button of the waistcoat (or indeed a cardigan) is to provide the /\ shape at your waist - it should open out slightly and form an upside-down V. This enables the bottom of the waistcoat to more gracefully respect the curves of the hips.

Your waistcoat has a /\ shape already built into it (quite common) and therefore the necessity to unbutton the button is lifted.

I was looking for this comment before I made it myself...I had to go back and look at the subreddit you posted this to when I clicked on the picture. I thought this was in /r/doctorwho and you were going for some kind of costume party. I was going to ask why you didn't take a pic of your white converse too.

Suit looks awesome! I, personally, am a huge fan of the three piece. Just wanted to say that I think you look a lot better without your glasses, so maybe try out so contact lenses. Suit looks great though!

You look great dude! I always try and nitpick some small issue even when I think people look awesome on here just to add any amount of constructive criticism, but can't find one for you. Awesome suit, awesome fit. Congrats!

I see below its a total custom from a guy in dallas, but mind telling me the price?

I see a lot of circle jerk, but honestly, you need to fix the collar. That's a point collar shirt, and with your face, you really need to be wearing a spread collar, otherwise you look like you have a giraffe neck.

Looks great! But that phone? Does anyone else not recognize cellphones as part of your wardrobe? I mean people notice your phone more than anything because it's always out! I understand if money constrains because I have been in that situation, but it's something to consider or I'm just crazy.

I've never heard of the "cellphone as part of your wardrobe" idea. Maybe it's because I'm poor and don't pay attention to people talking about their phones, maybe it's because I haven't had a phone as long as most people I know, but it never occurred to me.

Also, the only people I know whose phones are always out are those with smart phones. Most of my friends don't have theirs out all the time; in fact, one of my buddies doesn't even carry his unless he's going somewhere for more than an hour or two. And when I'm out in public, my phone is not, unless it's absolutely necessary. I refuse to participate in the 'texting while talking to others' and 'texting while out to dinner' trends. I find them in poor taste. It seems to me that unless you have a very good reason to have your phone out, it sends a clear "I don't value your companionship" message to the people you are currently with.

Thank you. It was basically impossible for me to find a suit that fit, because I am honestly quite thin. I'd have to buy something close and get it altered, but there is only so much you can do. It always felt like they were hanging off of me, and I hated it. It feels so good to have something fit me perfectly. It is certainly worth the money to have something custom made.

Where did you get the suit? Regarding the altering, I feel like a lot of people have been asking what to tell a tailor lately. Did you have to give your tailor instructions, or did he know what to do? I would imagine that if left to their own imagination, they could go for a more "traditional" look or for a more moderm "European" style (words I have heard old dudes use).

A perfect example of a failure of the voting system. This is about the only accurate comment here, yet it got significantly downvoted. If people just downvoted because of your tone, I think they need to stop being so sensitive and deal with it because the critique is sound.

I think tone matters. His current tone doesn't sound like he wants to help OP, but rather just display that he knows something OP doesn't. "OPs suit is a crude dated joke" does not endear anybody to what he is going to say next. In fact, that's terribly douchey.

It can and does affect whether people want to learn from him. It's one thing for the recipient of advice to be able to cut through the bullshit and take just the advice, but it's hard. It's another thing for the adviser to make his advice as accessible as possible by not being a dick about it.

It would look better if you had a slimmer tie and smaller knot. The fat freddy knot is not pleasing to the eye it looks like you are wearing a dorito on your collar. But other than than, it looks good!

Damnit! I was hoping that under that sauve exterior we had ourselves a BJJ'r. I wear hayabusa gear when I fight/wrestle/tap out. If MFA had fighters, they would wear Hayabusa gear. Stylish and functional FTW. You look smashing BTW. Good day, sir.
